Special events for 2006 include an early bird reception for attendees and exhibitors; job fair for commercial divers and ROV pilot/technicians, and the student tech- nology fair. The early bird reception will feature great food, and all the special events have the potential to pro- vide networking opportunities. Additionally, the UI com- mittee will host an awards breakfast and plenary session with a keynote speaker for the opening day of the show.

At the breakfast, ADCI will present its Commercial

Diving Hall of Fame inductees, and other traditional awards and scholarships. The MTS ROV committee will present its Chairman's Award, scholarships, and other tra- ditional awards.
